Method for manufacturing perovskite particle light-emitter where organic ligand is substituted, particle light-emitter manufactured thereby, and light emitting device using same

ABSTRACT

Provided are a method for manufacturing a perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter where an organic ligand is substituted, a light-emitter manufactured thereby, and a light emitting device using the same. A method for manufacturing an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter where an organic ligand is substituted may comprise the steps of: preparing a solution including an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter, wherein the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter comprises an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure and a plurality of first organic ligands surrounding the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure; and adding, to the solution, a second organic ligand which is shorter than the first organic ligands or includes a phenyl group or a fluorine group, thereby substitutes the first organic ligands with the second organic ligand. Thus, since energy transfer or charge injection into the nanocrystal structure increases through ligand substitution, it is possible to further increase light emitting efficiency and increase durability and stability by means of a hydrophobic ligand.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a light-emitter and a light emitting device using the same, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite or an inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter where an organic ligand is substituted, a nanocrystal particle light-emitter manufactured thereby, and a light emitting device using the same.

BACKGROUND ART

The major trend of the display market is shifting from the existing high-efficiency and high-resolution-oriented display, to the emotional image-quality display aiming at realizing a high color purity for demonstration of natural colors. In this respect, organic light-emitter-based organic light emitting diode (OLED) devices have remarkably developed, inorganic quantum dot LEDs with the improved color purity have been actively researched and developed as alternatives. However, in the viewpoint of emitting materials, both the organic light-emitters and the inorganic quantum dot light-emitters have intrinsic limitations.

The existing organic light-emitters have an advantage of high efficiency, but the existing organic light-emitters have a wide spectrum and poor color purity. Although the inorganic quantum dot light-emitters have been known to have good color purity because the luminescence occurs by quantum size effects, there is a problem that it is difficult to uniformly control the sizes of the quantum dots as the color approaches the blue color, and thereby the size distribution deteriorates the color purity. Furthermore, because the inorganic quantum dots have a very deep valence band, there is a problem that it is difficult to inject holes because a hole injection barrier from an organic hole injection layer or an anode is too large. Also, the two light-emitter are disadvantageously expensive. Thus, there is a need for new types of hybrid organic-inorganic-hybrid light-emitters that compensate for the disadvantages of the organic light-emitters and inorganic quantum dot emitters and maintains their merits.

Since the organic-inorganic-hybrid light materials have advantages of low manufacturing costs and simple manufacturing and device manufacturing processes and also have ail advantages of organic emitting materials, which are easy to control optical and electrical properties, and inorganic emitting materials having high charge mobility and mechanical and thermal stability, the organic-inorganic-hybrid emitting materials are attracting attention academically and industrially.

Among them, since the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite materials (hereafter, organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite) have high color purity (full width at half maximum (FWHM)≈20 nm), simple color control, and low synthesis costs, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite materials are very likely to be developed as the light-emitter. Since the high color purity from these materials can be realized because they have a layered structure in which a two-dimensional (2D) plane made of the inorganic material is sandwiched between 2D planes made of the organic material, and a large difference in dielectric constant between the inorganic material and the organic material is large (√_(organic)≈2.4, ε_(inorganic)≈6.1) so that the electron-hole pairs (or excitons) are bound to the inorganic 2D layer.

A material having the conventional perovskite structure (ABX₃) is inorganic metal oxide.

In general, the inorganic metal oxides are oxides, for example, materials in which metal (alkali metals, alkali earth metals, lanthanides, etc) cations such as Ti, Sr, Ca, Cs, Ba, Y, Gd, La, Fe, and Mn, which have sizes different from each other, are located in A and B sites, oxygen anions are located in an X site, and the metal cations in the B site are bonded to the oxygen anions in the X site in the corner-sharing octahedron form with the 6-fold coordination. Examples of the inorganic metal oxides include SrFeO₃, LaMnO₃, CaFeO₃, and the like.

On the other hand, since the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite has the ABX₃ in which organic ammonium (RNH₃) cations (or “A site cation” in perovskite crystals) are located in the A site, and halides (Cl, Br, I) are located in the X site to form the organic metal halide perovskite material, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite are completely different from the inorganic metal oxide perovskite material in composition.

In addition, the materials vary in characteristics due to a difference in composition of the materials. The inorganic metal oxide perovskite typically has characteristics of superconductivity, ferroelectricity, colossal magnetoresistance, and the like, and thus has been generally conducted to be applied for sensors, fuel cells, memory devices, and the like. For example, yttrium barium copper oxides have superconducting or insulating properties according to oxygen contents.

On the other hand, since the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (or inorganic metal halide perovskite) has a structure in which the organic planes ((or “A site cation” plane in the perovskite crystal structure)) and the inorganic planes are alternately stacked and thus has a structure similar to a lamellar structure so that the excitons are bound in the inorganic plane, it may be an ideal light-emitter that generally emits light having very high purity by the crystal structure itself rather than the quantum size effect of the material.

If the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite has a chromophore (mainly including a conjugated structure) in which organic ammonium has a bandgap less than that of a crystal structure composed of a central metal and a halogen crystal structure (BX₆), the luminescence occurs in the organic ammonium. Thus, since light having high color purity is not emitted, a full width at half maximum of the luminescence spectrum becomes wider than 50 nm. Therefore, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite are unsuitable for a light emitting layer. Thus, in this case, it is not very suitable for the light-emitter having the high color purity, which is highlighted in this patent. Therefore, in order to produce the light-emitter having the high color purity, it is important that the luminescence occurs in an inorganic lattice composed of the central metal-halogen elements without the organic ammonium which contain the chromophore. That is, this patent focuses on the development of the light-emitter having high color purity and high efficiency in the inorganic lattice. For example, although an electroluminescent device in which a dye-containing organic-inorganic-hybrid material is formed in the form of a thin film rather than that of a particle and used as a light emitting layer, the emission originated from the emitting-dye itself, not the intrinsic crystal structure as disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2001-0015084 (Feb. 26, 2001), light is not emitted from the perovskite lattice structure.

However, since the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite has small exciton binding energy, there is a fundamental problem that the luminescence occurs at a low temperature, but the excitons do not efficiently emit light at room temperature due to thermal ionization and delocalization of charge carriers and thus are separated into free charge carriers and then annihilated. Also, there is a problem in that the excitons are annihilated by the layer having high conductivity in the vicinity of the exitons when the free charges are recombined again to form excitons. Therefore, to improve light emission efficiency and brightness of the organic-inorganic-hybrid or metal halide perovskite-based LED, it is necessary to prevent the exitons from being quenched.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Technical Problem

To solve the abovementioned problems, the present invention provides a nanocrystal particle light-emitter having improved luminescent efficiency and durability (or stability) by synthesizing organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite or inorganic metal halide perovskite into nanocrystal made of at least ternary compounds in unit crystal 3 components)(i.e. perovskite structure) instead of forming a polycrystal thin film in order to prevent thermal ionization, delocalization of charge carriers, and quenching of excitons, and a light emitting device using the same.

Advantageous Effects

In the nanocrystal particle light-emitters that have the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (or the inorganic metal halide perovskite) nanocrystal structure, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the crystal structure, in which the FCC and the BCC are combined with each other, may be formed in the nanocrystal particle light-emitter to form a lamellar structure in which the organic plane (or “A site cation” plane in the perovskite crystal structure) and the inorganic plane are alternately stacked, and also, the excitons may be confined in the inorganic plane to implement the high color purity.

Also, the exciton diffusion length may be reduced, and the exciton binding energy may increase in the nanocrystal structure having a size of 900 nm or less to prevent the excitons from being annihilated by thermal ionization and the delocalization of the charge carriers, thereby improving the luminescent efficiency at room temperature.

Furthermore, when compared to the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the 3D structure such as the ABX₃ structure, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal having the 2D structure such as the A₂BX₄, ABX₄, A_(n−1)B_(n)X_(3n+1) structure may be synthesized to increase the distance between the inorganic planes confined in the excitons, resulting in increasing in the exciton binding energy, thereby improving the luminescent efficiency and the durability (or stability).

Also, the bandgap energy of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle may be determined by the crystal structure without depending on the particle size.

Also, the organic ligand surrounding the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite or inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal structure may be substituted with the ligand having the short length or the ligand including the phenyl group or the fluorine group to more increase the energy transfer or the charge injection in the nanocrystal structure, thereby improving the luminescent efficiency and the durability (or stability) by the hydrophobic ligands.

Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

In the following description, it will be understood that when an element such as a layer, a region, or substrate is referred to as being ‘on’ another layer, region, or substrate, it can be directly on the other layer, region, or substrate, or intervening layers, regions, or substrates may also be present.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a perovskite nanocrystal structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 illustrates structures of an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal and an inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal.

Referring to FIG. 1, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal has a structure with a center metal centered in a face centered cubic (FCC), in which six inorganic halide materials X are respectively located on all surfaces of a hexahedron, and in a body centered cubic (BCC), in which eight organic ammonium OA are respectively located at ail vertexes of a hexahedron. Here, Pb is illustrated as an example of the center metal.

Also, the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal has structure with a center metal centered in a face centered cubic (FCC), in which six inorganic halide materials X are respectively located on all surfaces of a hexahedron, and in a body centered cubic (BCC), in which eight alkali metals are respectively located at all vertexes of a hexahedron. Here, Pb is illustrated as an example of the center metal.

Here, all sides of the hexahedron have an angle of 90° with respect to each other. The above-described structure may include a cubic structure having the same length in horizontal, vertical, and height directions and a tetragonal structure having different lengths in the horizontal, vertical, and height directions.

Thus, a two-dimensional (2D) structure according to the present invention may be the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure with a center metal centered in a face centered cubic, in which six inorganic halide materials X are respectively located on all surfaces of a hexahedron, and in a body centered cubic, in which eight organic ammonium are respectively located at all vertexes of a hexahedron and be defined as a structure of which a horizontal length and a vertical length are the same, but a height length is longer by 1.5 times or more than each of the horizontal length and the vertical length.

A method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter, in which the organic ligand is substituted, according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter, in which an organic ligand is substituted, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter, in which an organic ligand is substituted, includes a step (S100) of preparing a solution including an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal light-emitter and a step (S200) of substituting a first organic ligand of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal light-emitter with a second organic ligand in the solution.

In more detail, first, a solution including an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal light-emitter is prepared (S100). The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal light-emitter may include a plurality of first organic ligands surrounding an organic-inorganic-hybrid or metal halide perovskite nanocrystal structure and the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure.

The step of preparing the solution including the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal light-emitter may be a step of manufacturing and preparing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal light-emitter. One manufacturing example will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter according to the present invention may be manufactured through an inverse nano-emulsion method, reprecipitation method, or hot injection method.

First, the first solution in which the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is dissolved in a polar solvent and the second solution in which a surfactant is dissolved in a non-polar solvent are prepared (S110).

Here, the polar (aprotic or protic) solvent may include dimethylformamide, gamma butyrolactone, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide or isopropyl alcohol, but is not limited thereto.

Also, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite may be a material having a 2D crystalline structure, a 3D crystalline structure or a combination thereof.

For example, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the 3D crystal structure may be an ABX₃ structure. Also, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the 2D crystal structure may be a structure of ABX₃, A₂BX₄, ABX₄, or A_(n−1)Pb_(n)X_(3n+1) (where n is an integer between 2 to 6).

Here, the A is an organic ammonium or inorganic alkali metal material, the B is a metal material, and the X is a halogen element.

For example, the A may be (CH₃NH₃)_(n), ((C_(x)H_(2x+1))_(n)NH₃)₂(CH₃NH₃)_(n), (RNH₃)₂, (C_(n)H_(2n+1)NH₃)₂, CF₃NH₃, (CF₃NH₃)_(n), ((C_(x)F_(2x+1))_(n)NH₃)₂(CF₃NH₃)_(n), ((C_(x)CF_(2x+1))_(n)NH₃)₂, (C_(n)F_(2n+1)NH₃)₂, (CH(NH₂)₂), C_(x)H_(2x+1)(C(NH₂)₂), Cs, Rb, K, (where n is an integer equal to or greater than 1, and x is an integer equal to or greater than 1). Here, the B may be a divalent transition metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali earth metal, Pb, Sn, Ge, Ga, In, Al, Sb, Bi, Po, or a combination thereof. Here, the rare earth metal may be, for example, Ge, Sn, Pb, Eu, or Yb. Also, the alkali earth metal may be, for example, Ca or Sr. Also, the X may be Cl, Br, I, or a combination thereof.

The perovskite may be prepared by combining the AX with BX₂ at a predetermined ratio. That is, the first solution may be formed by dissolving the AX and BX₂ in the polar solvent at a predetermined ratio. For example, the AX and BX₂ may be dissolved in the polar solvent at a ratio of 2:1 to prepare the first solution in which the A₂BX₃ organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is dissolved.

Also, it is preferable that the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite uses a material having a 2D crystal structure rather than a 2D crystal structure.

When the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the 2D structure is formed to have the nanocrystal in comparison that the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the 3D structure is formed to have the nanocrystal, the inorganic plane and the organic plane, which are stacked on each other, may be clearly distinguished from each other to more firmly confine the exciton in the inorganic plane with respect to the organic plane and thereby to improve luminescent efficiency and durability (or stability), thereby implementing higher color purity.

Also, the non-polar solvent may include dichloroethylene, trichlorethylene, chloroform, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, styrene, xylene, toluene, or cyclohexene, but is not limited thereto.

Also, the alkyl halide surfactant may have a structure of alkyl-X. Here, the halogen element corresponding to the X may include Cl, Br, or I. Also, the alkyl structure may include acyclic alkyl having a structure of C_(n)H_(2n+1), primary alcohol having a structure such as C_(n)H_(2n+1)OH, secondary alcohol, tertiary alcohol, alkylamine having a structure of alkyl-N (e.g., hexadecyl amine, 9-Octadecenylamine 1-Amino-9-octadecene (C₁₉H₃₇N)), p-substituted aniline, phenyl ammonium, or fluorine ammonium, but is not limited thereto.

A carboxylic acid (COOH) and amines (NH₃) surfactant may be used instead of the alkyl halide surfactant.

For example, the surfactant may include a carboxylic acid such as a 4,4′-Azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid), an acetic acid, a 5-aminosalicylic acid, an acrylic acid, an L-aspentic acid, a 6-bromohexanoic acid, a bromoacetic acid, a dichloro acetic acid, an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, an isobutyric acid, an itaconic acid, a maleic acid, an r-maleimidobutyric acid, an L-malic acid, a 4-Nitrobenzoic acid, a 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid, or an oleic acid, but is not limited thereto.

Next, the first solution may be mixed with the second solution to form the nanocrystal particle. (S200).

In the step of mixing the first solution with the second solution to form the nanocrystal particle, it is preferable to mix the first solution by dropping into the second solution in drops. Also, the second solution may be stirred. For example, the second solution in which the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (OIP) is dissolved may be slowly added dropwise into the second solution in which the alkyl halide surfactant that is being strongly stirred is dissolved to synthesize the nanocrystal particle.

In this case, when the first solution drops to be mixed with the second solution, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (OIP) is precipitated from the second solution due to a difference in solubility. Also, a surface of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (OIP) precipitated from the second solution is surrounded by the alkyl halide surfactant and thus stabilized to generate an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal (OIP-NC) that is well dispersed. Thus, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter including the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure and the plurality of alkyl halide organic ligands or inorganic binary compounds or combination thereof surrounding the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure may be manufactured.

The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle may have a size that is controllable by adjusting a length or a shape factor of the alkyl halide surfactant. For example, the adjustment of the shape factor may be controlled through the surfactant having a linear, tapered, or inverted triangular shape.

It is preferable that the generated organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle has a size of 1 nm to 900 nm. Here, the size of the nanocrystal particle represents a size without considering a size of the ligand that will be described later, i.e., a size of a remaining portion except for the ligand.

If the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle has a size exceeding 900 nm, it is a fundamental problem in which the large non-radiative decay of the excitons can occur at room temperature by thermal ionization and the delocalization of the charge carrier, and a large number of excitons are separated as free charge carriers and then annihilated.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view illustrating a method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter having the 2D structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4(a), the first solution in which the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is dissolved in the polar solvent is added dropwise into the second solution in which the alkyl halide surfactant is dissolved in the non-polar solvent.

Referring to FIG. 4(b), when the first solution is added to the second solution, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is precipitated from the second solution due to a difference in solubility. A surface of the precipitated organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is surrounded by the alkyl halide surfactant and thus stabilized to generate an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter 100 that is well dispersed. Here, the surface of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure is surrounded by the organic ligands that include alkyl halide, inorganic binary compounds or combination thereof.

Thereafter, the polar solvent including the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle that is dispersed in the non-polar solvent, in which the alkyl halide surfactant is dissolved, may be heated and thus selectively evaporated, or a co-solvent, in which all the polar and non-polar solvents are capable of being dissolved, may be added to selectively extract the polar solvent including the nanocrystal particle from the non-polar solvent, thereby obtaining the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter.

The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter having the 2D structure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure that has the 2D structure and is dispersible in an organic solvent. Here, the organic solvent may be the polar solvent or the non-polar solvent. For example, the polar solvent may include dimethylformamide, gamma butyrolactone, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide or isopropyl alcohol, and the non-polar solvent may include dichloroethylene, trichlorethylene, chloroform, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, styrene, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, xylene, toluene, cyclohexene.

Also, the nanocrystal particle may have a spherical, cylindrical, cylindroid, polyprism or two-dimensional (lamellar, plate) shape.

Also, the nanocrystal particle may have a size of 1 nm to 900 nm. Here, the size of the nanocrystal particle represents a size without considering a size of the ligand that will be described later, i.e., a size of a remaining portion except for the ligand. For example, when the nanocrystal particle has the spherical shape, the nanocrystal particle may have a diameter of 1 nm to 900 nm.

Also, the nanocrystal particle may have bandgap energy of 1 eV to 5 eV. Thus, since the energy bandgap is determined according to the composition and the crystal structure of the nanocrystal particle, the composition of the nanocrystal particle may be adjusted to emit light having a wavelength of, for example, 200 nm to 1300 nm.

Also, the plurality of organic ligands surrounding the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure may be further provided.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view of an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter and an inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Here, FIG. 5 illustrates the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter. If the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite of FIG. 5 is changed into the inorganic metal halide perovskite, since the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter is provided, their descriptions are the same.

Referring to FIG. 5, the light-emitter according to an embodiment of the present invention may be the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter or the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter and includes an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure or inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal structure 110 that is dispersible in the organic solvent.

Also, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the 2D crystal structure may be a structure of A₂BX₄, ABX₄, or A_(n+1)Pb_(n)X_(3n+1) (where, n is an integer between 2 to 6).

Here, the A is an organic ammonium or inorganic alkali metal material, the B is a metal material, and the X is a halogen element. For example, the A may be (CH₃NH₃)_(n), ((C_(x)H_(2x+1))_(n)NH₃)₂(CH₃NH₃)_(n), (RNH₃)₂, (C_(n)H_(2n+1)NH₃)₂, CF₃NH₃, (CF₃NH₃)_(n), ((C_(x)F_(2x+1))_(n)NH₃)₂ (CF₃NH₃)_(n), ((C_(x)CF_(2x+1))_(n)NH₃)₂, (C_(n)F_(2n+1)NH₃)₂, (CH(NH₂)₂), C_(x)H_(2x+)1(C(NH₂)₂), Cs, Rb, K, (where n is an integer equal to or greater than 1, and x is an integer equal to or greater than 1). Here, the B may be a divalent transition metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali earth metal, Pb, Sn, Ge, Ga, In, Al, Sb, Bi, Po, or a combination thereof. Here, the rare earth metal may be, for example, Ge, Sn, Pb, Eu, or Yb. Also, the alkali earth metal may be, for example, Ca or Sr. Also, the X may be Cl, Br, I, or a combination thereof.

The organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter 100 having the 2D structure according to the present invention may further include a plurality of organic ligands 120 or combination thereof surrounding the above-described organic-inorganic-hybrid or metal halide perovskite nanocrystal structure 110. Each of the organic ligands 120 may include alkyl halide.

Also, the alkyl halide surfactant may have a structure of alkyl-X. Here, the halogen element corresponding to the X may include Cl, Br, or I. Also, the alkyl structure may include acyclic alkyl having a structure of C_(n)H_(2n+1), primary alcohol having a structure such as C_(n)H_(2n+1)OH, secondary alcohol, tertiary alcohol, alkylamine having a structure of alkyl-N (e.g., hexadecyl amine, 9-Octadecenylamine 1-Amino-9-octadecene (C₁₉H₃₇N)), p-substituted aniline, phenyl ammonium, or fluorine ammonium, but is not limited thereto.

Also, the inorganic metal halide perovskite having the 2D crystal structure may be a structure of A₂BX₄, ABX₄, or A_(n−1)Pb_(n)X_(3n+1) (where, n is an integer between 2 to 6).

The A may be an alkali metal, the B may be a divalent transition metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali earth metal, Pb, Sn, Ge, Ga, In, Al, Sb, Bi, Po, or a combination thereof, and the X may be Cl, Br, I, or a combination thereof. Here, the rare earth metal may be, for example, Ge, Sn, Pb, Eu, or Yb. Also, the alkali earth metal may be, for example, Ca or Sr.

The inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter having the 2D structure according to the present invention may further include a plurality of organic ligands surrounding the above-described inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal structure. Each of the organic ligands may include alkyl halide.

Referring again to FIG. 2, a first organic ligand of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter is substituted with a second organic ligand in the solution (S200).

Here, the second organic ligand having a length less than that of the first organic ligand or including a phenyl group or a fluorine group may be added to the solution to substitute the first organic ligand with the second organic ligand. Here, heat may be applied to perform substitution reaction.

Each of the second organic ligands may include alkyl halide. Also, the second organic ligand may have a structure of alkyl-X′. Here, the halogen element corresponding to the X′ may include Cl, Br, or I. Also, the alkyl structure may include acyclic alkyl having a structure of C_(n)H_(2n+1), primary alcohol having a structure such as C_(n)H_(2n+1)OH, secondary alcohol, tertiary alcohol, alkylamine having a structure of alkyl-N (e.g., hexadecyl amine, 9-Octadecenylamine 1-Amino-9-octadecene (C₁₉H₃₇N)), p-substituted aniline, phenyl ammonium, or fluorine ammonium, but is not limited thereto.

Also, the second organic ligand may include alkyl halide, and the halogen element of the second organic ligand may be an element having a higher affinity for a center metal of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure than that of the halogen element of the first organic ligand.

For example, when the first organic ligand is CH₃(CH₂)₁₇NH₃Br, CH₃(CH₂)₈NH₃I as an alkali halide surfactant having a short length and including the halogen element that has a higher affinity for a center metal of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure than that of the halogen element of the first organic ligand may be added and then heated to perform the organic ligand substitution. Thus, CH₃(CH₂)₈NH₃I may become the second organic ligand surrounding the nanocrystal structure, and thus, the organic ligand of the nanocrystal particle light-emitter may be reduced in length.

As described above, in the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter according to the present invention, the alkyl halide (the first organic ligand) used as the surfactant for stabilizing the surface of the precipitated organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite may surround the surface of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite to form the nanocrystal structure.

If the alkyl halide surfactant has a short length, the formed nanocrystal particle may increase in size to exceed 900 nm. In this case, the light emission of the exciton may not occur by thermal ionization and the delocalization of the charge carriers in the large nanocrystal particle, and the exciton may be separated as the free charge carriers and then annihilated.

That is, the size of the formed organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle is inversely proportional to the length of the alkyl halide surfactant used for forming the nanocrystal particle.

Thus, the size of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle formed by using the alkyl halide having a predetermined length or more as the surfactant may be controlled to a predetermined size or less. For example, octadecyl-ammonium bromide may be used as the alkyl halide surfactant to form the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle having a size of a 900 nm or less.

Thus, the alkyl halide (the first organic ligand) having a predetermined length or more may be used to form the nanocrystal particle having a predetermined size or more, and then, the first organic ligand may be substituted with the ligand having the short length or including the phenyl group or the fluorine group to more increase the energy transfer or the charge injection in the nanocrystal structure, thereby more improving the luminescent efficiency. Furthermore, durability (or stability) may also be improved by the substituted hydrophobic ligand.

The substitution step (S200) will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.

FIG. 6 is a schematic view illustrating a method for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter, in which the organic ligand is substituted, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6(a), the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter 100 including the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure 110 and the first organic ligand 120 surrounding the nanocrystal structure 110 is prepared. The nanocrystal particle light-emitter 100 may be prepared in state (a liquid state) that is contained in a solution. As illustrated in the drawings, Pb may be described as an example of the center metal of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure 110.

Next, the second organic ligand 130 is added to the solution containing the nanocrystal particle light-emitter 100.

Referring to FIG. 6(b), since the second organic ligand 130 is added, the first organic ligand 120 is substituted with the second organic ligand 130. The organic ligand substitution may be performed by using an intensity difference in affinity between the center metal of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure 110 and the halogen element. For example, the affinity with the center metal may increase in order of Cl<Br<I.

Thus, when the halogen element X of the first organic ligand 120 is Cl, the ligand substitution may be performed by using Br or I as the halogen element X′ of the second organic ligand 130.

Thus, the first organic ligand 120 may be substituted with the second organic ligand 130 having the short length and including the fluorine group to form an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter 100′ which has improved luminescent efficiency and in which the organic ligand is substituted.

A method for manufacturing the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter, in which the organic ligand is substituted, according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The method for manufacturing the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter, in which the organic ligand is substituted may include a step of preparing a solution including an inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter including an inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal structure and a plurality of first organic ligands surrounding a surface of the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal structure and a step of adding a second organic ligand having a short length or including a phenyl group or a fluorine group to substitute the first organic ligand with the second organic ligand.

Each of the first organic ligand and the second organic ligand may include alkyl halide, and the halogen element of the second organic ligand may be an element having affinity higher than that of the halogen element of the first organic ligand with respect to a center metal of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure.

The inorganic metal halide perovskite material may include a structure of ABX₃, A₂BX₄, ABX₄, or A_(n−1)Pb_(n)X_(3n+1) (n is an integer between 2 to 6), where the A may be an alkali metal, the B may be a metal material, and the X may be a halogen element.

Here, the A may be Na, K, Rb, Cs, or Fr, the B may be a divalent transition metal, a rare earth metal, an alkali earth metal, Pb, Sn, Ge, Ga, In, Al, Sb, Bi, Po, or a combination thereof, and the X may be Cl, Br, I, or a combination thereof.

Here, the substitution methods may be the same except that, in the “inorganic metal halide” perovskite nanocrystal particle, an A side material is an alkali metal, and in the “organic-inorganic-hybrid” perovskite nanocrystal particle, an A site material is an organic ammonium material. Thus, the method for substituting the organic ligand of the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle is the same as that for manufacturing the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter in which the organic ligand is substituted, and thus, its detailed description will be omitted.

A light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a device using a light emitting layer including an organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal light-emitter in which an organic ligand is substituted or an inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter in which an organic ligand is substituted. Here, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal light-emitter in which the organic ligand is substituted or the inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter in which the organic ligand is substituted may be manufactured through the above-described manufacturing methods.

FIG. 9 is an image obtained by photographing a photoluminescence matrix of the light-emitter at room temperature and a low temperature according to Manufacturing Example 30 and Comparative Example 1.

FIG. 9(a) is an image obtained by photographing a light emission matrix of the thin film-shaped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (OIP film) according to Comparative Example 1 at a low temperature (70K), and FIG. 9(b) is an image obtained by photographing a light emission matrix of the thin film-shaped organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite (OIP film) according to Comparative Example 1 at room temperature.

FIG. 9(c) is an image obtained by photographing a photoluminescence matrix of the thin film (OIP-NP film) including the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle according to Manufacturing Example 1 at a low temperature (70K), and FIG. 9(d) is an image obtained by photographing a photoluminescence matrix of the thin film (OIP-NP film) of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle according to Manufacturing Example 1 at room temperature.

Referring to FIGS. 9(a) and 9(d), in case of the OIP-NP film (OIP-NP film) according to Manufacturing Example 1, it is seen that photoluminescence occurs at the same position as that of the OIP film according to Comparative Example 1, and color purity is more improved. Also, in case of the OIP-NP film according to Manufacturing Example 1, it is seen that photoluminescence having high color purity occurs at room temperature at the same position as that at the low temperature, and intensity of the light emission is not reduced. On the other hand, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite according to Comparative Example 1 has different color purity and light emission position at room temperature and low temperature, and exciton does not emit light due to thermal ionization and delocalization of charge carriers at room temperature and thus is separated as free charge carriers and annihilated to cause low light emission intensity.

FIG. 10 is a graph obtained by photographing photoluminescence of the light-emitter according to Manufacturing Example 1 and Comparative Example 1.

Referring to FIG. 10, in all cases of the liquid state in which the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter is contained in the solution and the thin film state in which the thin film layer is formed by using the nanocrystal particle light-emitter according to Manufacturing Example 1, it is seen that the photoluminescence occurs at the same position as the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite according to Manufacturing Example 1.

FIG. 11 is a schematic view of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter, in which the organic ligand is substituted, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 11, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter 100 manufactured through the manufacturing methods of the present invention may be substituted with the organic ligand containing a hydrophobic a phenyl group or fluorine group, for example, fluorine ammonium. Thus, since the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter is substituted with this kind of ligand, it is seen that the manufactured organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle light-emitter 100′ is more improved in durability (or stability).

In the nanocrystal particle light-emitter including the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal structure, the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite having the crystal structure, in which the FCC and the BCC are combined with each other, may be formed in the nanocrystal particle light-emitter to form a lamellar structure in which the organic plane and the inorganic plane are alternately stacked, and also, the excitons may be confined in the inorganic plane to implement the high color purity.

Also, the exciton diffusion length may be reduced, and the exciton binding energy may increase in the nanocrystal having a size of 900 nm or less to prevent the excitons from being annihilated by thermal ionization and the delocalization of the charge carriers, thereby improving the luminescent efficiency at room temperature.

Also, the bandgap energy of the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite nanocrystal particle may be determined by the crystal structure without depending on the particle size.

Furthermore, since the 2D organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite is synthesized into the nanocrystal when compared to the 3D organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite, the exciton binding energy may be improved to more improve the luminescent efficiency and the durability (or stability).

Also, the organic ligand surrounding the organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskite or inorganic metal halide perovskite nanocrystal may be substituted with the ligand having the short length or the ligand including the phenyl group or the fluorine group to more increase the energy transfer or the charge injection in the nanocrystal structure, thereby improving the luminescent efficiency and the durability (or stability) by the hydrophobic ligands.

It is to be understood by those skilled in the art that other modifications based on the technical idea of the present invention are possible in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein.
